The Tower showing (Prosperity Trend) occurrence is located on a north west facing slope between Douglas and Lorne creeks, approximately 13 kilometres northeast of the north end of Kitsumkalum Lake and 40 kilometres north of Terrace, B.C.
Regionally, the area is underlain by Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group sediments which have been intruded by Late Cretaceous granodiorite and quartz monzonite stocks and sills.
The Tower showing is at the northeast end of the Prosperity Trend of mineralization. The Bermaline occurrence, 1600 metres to the southwest of the Tower showing, was identified in the early 1930s, comprising sediments cut by shear zones and mineralized quartz veins. Mineralization consists of galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and minor sphalerite in the quartz veins and disseminated molybdenite near shear zones. The Fat Freddy showing, identified in 2016 and sampled in 2017 is located approximately 1200 metres to the southeast of the Tower showing, and is similar in nature, comprising polymetallic quartz veins, up to 2 metres wide, hosting massive sulphides consisting of disseminated or globules of pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and galena in an intensely altered (hornfelsed) sedimentary rocks (argillite, sandstone and conglomerate) and granodiorite. Generally, the mineralized veins occur in or parallel to northwest-southeast and northeast-southwest trending faults and shear zones. The wall rock adjacent to the structures is silicified with rusty brown weathering and limonitic clots in weathered vein material.
Mineralization has been identified along the Prosperity Trend over an area of approximately 650 by 250 metres in the central portion of the Lucky Strike property at the headwaters of two prolific placer creeks, Lorne Creek draining eastward, and Douglas Creek draining westward (Turna, R. (2017-08-31): NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Lucky Strike Property).
In 2016, J2 Syndicate Holdings Ltd. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, hand trenching and rock (41) and stream sediment (4) sampling on their Lucky Strike property. The 2016 geochemical survey returned assays up to up to 24.7 grams per tonne gold, 188 grams per tonne silver, 2.04 per cent copper, 8.34 per cent lead, 0.26 per cent molybdenum, 0.13 per cent tungsten and 6.3 per cent zinc in quartz veins containing massive pyrite on the newly discovered Prosperity Trend.
Work History
The area has been explored in conjunction with the South Lorne Creek (MINFILE 103I 027) and a completed regional exploration history can be found there.
In 2016, J2 Syndicate and Goliath Resources Ltd. completed a program of prospecting, geological mapping, hand trenching and rock and stream sediment sampling on the area as the Lucky Strike property and particularly on the Prosperity Trend, running northeast from the Bermaline showing. An airborne magnetic survey was flown over the Lucky Strike Property in 2017 for a total of 563 line kilometres. Magnetic anomalies were found to highlight apparent intrusives at several locations, they generally corresponded with resistive zones in the SkyTEM data as well as with anomalous 2016 sampling. Several new areas of interest were identified as a result of this electromagnetic survey: Kahuna, Douglas, Lorne and Prosperity North (Assessment Report 36902).
An NI 43-101 Technical Report was completed on the Lucky Strike property in 2017 for Goliath Resources Limited and a second comprehensive report was completed in 2018 including work done during the 2017 field season. The program consisted of reconnaissance and follow-up prospecting, geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Sampling during the 2017 and 2018 field season resulted in the definition of several new zones of mineralization.
